My Peacemaker - I

Ephesians 2:14,15 "For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;"

Jesus Christ is "our peace." That is of no surprise for He is the Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6  "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."  Jesus was born to bring us peace. At his birth the Angel said, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." (Luke 2:14)  Jesus was the only one who could bring peace. Act 10:36  The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:) We are now no longer Aliens and Strangers to God, nor are we at enmity with Him, for we have been made nigh by the blood and now have peace. Romans 5:1  "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:"  Jesus is our peacemaker and brings unity, "who hath made both one, and hath broken down the...wall between us."  Unity with God and each other, for we are one in Him.  Colossians 3:11  "Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all." We have been adopted into Abraham's family and are to be one big happy family. The family of God! Jesus in His flesh put away the enmity and judgment that was against us because of the law. Jesus has brought peace. We are at peace with God as "one new man."  Galatians 6:15  "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature." Those that are in Christ Jesus are a new creation. 2Corinthians 5:17  "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."  Be encouraged, dear brother as a new creature in Christ we have no reason to fret, worry or be anxious. We have the peace that passes all understanding available to us in the person of Jesus Christ. Listen my friend we have a peacemaker and are on the winning side. Rejoice and say, "Jesus is my peacemaker!"
